Yang Banhou (Yang Pan-hou; 1837–1890) was an influential teacher of tai chi in Qing dynasty China, known for his bellicose temperament.[1][2]
Biography
He was the senior son of Yang Luchan to survive to adulthood. Like his father, he was retained as a martial arts instructor by the Manchu imperial family.[2][3] His disciple Wu Quanyou, a Manchu banner cavalry officer of the Palace Battalion,[2] and Wu Quanyou's son Wu Jianquan, also a banner officer, became co-founders of Wu-style tai chi.[3]
Yang Banhou's younger brother Yang Jianhou was a well known teacher of Yang-style tai chi as well.[2] Banhou adopted Jianhou's eldest son, Yang Shaohou, and put him through rigorous training.[4] Yang Banhou's son, Yang Shaopeng (1875–1938) was also a tai chi teacher.[3]
Yang Banhou taught Wang Jiaoyu his father's Guang Ping Yang tai chi form, and Wang taught Kuo Lien-ying this original Yang style form.[citation needed]
